Mama?????

Karis: Am I in charge of Ryanne?

Me: No, why would you need to be in charge of Ryanne?

Karis: Brennan says that he's in charge of me, Jadyn is in charge of Taryn, Taryn is in charge of Brennan, Isis is in charge of Chief, Morocco is in charge of Velvet....

*****Do you see where this is going? *****

I told her that at the moment I was the only one who was in charge of the 5 kids, 2 puppies and 2 cats since daddy wasn't home to be in charge too.

Spring Break Vacation

We're in the midst of figuring out where we'd like to go on vacation during spring break.

Many different ideas have been discussed. St. Louis, Mall of America, Disneyworld, visiting my family and just driving and seeing where we might end up.

It would be nice if we could do a little bit of what everyone would like...but we just don't have that much time during Spring Break.

Oh Mother Nature......

I really wish she would decide what she's going to throw at us on any given day. We've had freezing rain and freezing fog all in the last week. The freezing fog was actually pretty neat. Today we're back to snow and blustery winds. The weather lately just makes us want to stay in and either read a good book or watch a good movie with some popcorn.

Ice Jams!





Pepsi Bowling Tournament

We headed up to Rockford bright and early this morning so that Taryn could bowl in the Pepsi Tournament. It was her first tournament and she was quite nervous. She is alright though and definitely had fun!

Not a snow day....

We got an ice day instead.

After having Monday off from school, the kids are home again today due to all the freezing rain we got yesterday and overnight. The windows in the sun room are covered in ice, The sidewalks, driveways are slicker than slick. The puppies don't even want to go outside since all they do is sleep and slide over the very frozen, slippery snow. The main roads are cleared off for the most part, but the side roads are really nasty. I have nowhere that I have to go today and even if I did I wouldn't attempt going out. It's not worth it.
